American fast-food chain McDonald's will collaborate with ride-hailing app Uber to deliver food in over 1,000 outlets across the US.

The initiative, called McDelivery, aims at winning back young customers who are willing to pay for food brought to their doors. According to UberEATS fees, food delivery charge is $5, Xinhua news agency reported.

"Through the ease of the UberEATS app, our customers can enjoy their favourite McDonald's foods delivered right to them enjoying greater choice, control and personalisation than ever before," McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook said in a press release.

McDonald's started testing delivery in several Florida cities in January.
